Dr. Richardson Expresses Thanks, Leaving Mid-Columbia Medical Center after 18 years

Dear Editor & Community,

I wish to express my heartfelt appreciation to my community and patients for trusting me as your family doctor for the past 18 years. It is with a heavy heart that I am leaving my medical practice at MCMC as of August 2.

This community has been through many changes over the years. If I have learned one thing, it is we are resilient – we can get through even the darkest days if we lean on and help each other. You have inspired me with your ability to come together as a community and endure.

I am deeply grateful to have been part of your lives, even in a small way. I wish I were able to reach out to each of you personally about this transition. Since graduating from TDHS in 1991, I have been committed to giving back to my town, and I will remain here, working to improve opportunities for health and wellness however I am able.
In humble gratitude,

Judy Richardson, MD
